The grandeur of this Victorian residence is apparent from the moment you turn down this beautiful tree-lined street, entering through your iron gates & landscaped grounds, down your paved driveway to a huge double garage & carport. Entering the home via the ornate Victorian bull-nose veranda, you will not believe your eyes with soaring 12ft ceilings, handcrafted ceiling roses, timber floors, beautiful original cornice work, original cedar doors and skirting boards, pull cord lighting, original locks + fittings & a grand wide main hallway leading you throughout. Claraville retains all of its original charms whilst possessing all the comforts of modern living with reverse cycle A/C & natural gas throughout.
Flowing off the grand entry is your king-size master bedroom with heritage built-in robes, original coal burning fireplace & mantelpiece, reverse cycle A/C & brand new heritage designed luxury Ensuite to give you the modern comforts. In addition to this are 3 more king size bedrooms each with their own story to tell through the detail they have to offer, beautiful original fireplace & modern comforts of reverse cycle A/C & heritage-built ins. These rooms share a period-style main bathroom with timber floors, modern fittings & genuine 1890s claw foot bath.
Now flowing out to the heart of the home your jaw will drop with one of the most elegant open plan living, dining & kitchens I have ever seen. Taking you back to an era of class & luxury there is nothing better than relaxing by your toasty fireplace while enjoying the amazing architecture & original character this home has to offer. A home of this stature can't come without a world class kitchen & here you get two of them. Your main kitchen ready to entertain guests featuring handcrafted timber cabinetry, exposed sandstock brick chimney, stone benchtops, Italian Emelia gas oven & cooktop, insulated fridge nook, dishwasher & large red cedar island bench for gatherings. This connects to your 2nd kitchen/butlers pantry with an abundance of cupboard space, freestanding gas cooktop & oven, 12 soft closing pot drawers, amazing views across the valley & servery out to your rear entertaining, perfect for catering to the biggest of gatherings or even wedding where one lucky couple tied the knot earlier this year. Adjacent to this area is your elegant formal living room filled with an abundance of natural light while taking in the breathtaking views on offer.
Connecting from your main living & dining through French doors is a spacious semi-enclosed rear verandah built out of 1890s style timber & 6 inch Ironbark flooring. This truly is the best spot in the house to enjoy the amazing afternoon sunsets across the valley, surrounded by friends & family. Enjoy this year-round with a toughened glass wind blocker & pull-down blinds giving you all the comfort. Your brick steps lead you down from the verandah to a huge size yard all fully fenced for the kids and pets to play and have hours of fun. Enjoy the abundance of privacy with no rear neighbors & wonderful rural lifestyle while being right in the heart of town.
For all your storage needs and extra guest accommodation a huge 1890s design hardwood timber garage & retreat awaits. Here you will find a spacious workshop where this home has been handcrafted from, 3rd full bathroom & loft bedroom for even more space for guests. The possibilities here are endless for a 1-bedroom cottage retreat or anything your heart may desire.

This extremely rare opportunity is a chance to own a part of the prestigious history of Maitland's golden era, and one of the finest homes that I have ever seen in an exclusive & sought after location.
It is possible we will never see such a well crafted & designed heritage residence again in the market so don't miss out on your piece of history.
